[xwiki-users] publication dates in articles

by Dilipkumar Jadhav

Dear friends, I request help on a few changes that we are making to our internal XWiki installation. We run XWiki 1.7 over a tomcat 6.0.18 & mysql 5 installation. I see that the blog application has publication date feature which I believe runs as a scheduled job. Is there a possibility to add publication date to a page created in any other space. On the face of it, pages created in both blog space or any other space appear to be the same. So there should be some possibility that we can add scheduled publication dates to pages without making major changes to the present XWiki installation. Also, can we extend the category & sub category feature to any page outside the Blog space. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I may suggest a name for the new skin, I would suggest 'sparrow'. It kind of rhymes with 'arrow' & the bird is small, light & even the colors seem to match. Thank you all...

Re: [xwiki-users] Two greater problems with XWiki

by Regan Gill

Hi Florian, I discovered this horrible problem as well when I upgraded to "XWiki Enterprise 1.9.21179", the page I was editing was unrecoverable and luckily I still had my old version of the xwiki running on a different server so I copied it back from there. I turned off the section editing to prevent my users from losing their pages. You can do this in the xwiki.cfg file, by setting xwiki.section.edit=0: #-# This parameter will activate the sectional editing xwiki.section.edit=1 Good luck, Regan > > 1.)

[xwiki-users] Contributing to dutch translation

by Henk Schouten

Hello, I have a few questions about how to contribute to the dutch application_resource file. Yesterday I have added some translations to the dutch translation of the XE resources at the I10n.wiki.org site. Is there any documentation about this site? I am unsure about what some functions do and the effects they may have on others. For instance the link 'Import/reimport default language file', Admin actions like 'Import' and 'Prepare'. Also I noticed that when I get the dutch translation as a application resource file, it only has the resources filled in if a dutch translation exists. This seems logical, but as long as not all strings have a dutch translation, my xwiki contains lots of empty strings. Is there a way to build a resource file with dutch translations where available, and the default english strings when not? Another thing that is not clear to me is the functionality around reviewing and validation. If I find a translation that is incorrect of I thing there is a better one, can I just change it, or should I somehow make a review request to somebody authorized to accept or reject the change? Is there any way to know who is contributing to the same translation in order to achieve some common ideas about how to translate xwiki terms? Thanks, Henk -- == Henk F.

[xwiki-users] Problem with Import Office Content - XML tags are visible

by Matthias.Gsottberger＠o2.com

Hi! We have a problem with the new "Import Office Content" functionality in XWiki Enterprise 1.9.2.22089. The problem exists with Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106; with Firefox 3.0.7 everything is working fine .... After copy&paste of some word content into the import office panel some xml tags are visible in the imported text: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> To reproduce: 1. In Edit mode, selected Import Office Content. 2. In Office Importer, select Clipboard, copy&paste some word text and select Import. (filter styles / don't filter styles doesn't matter) 3. Preview / Save and view What is the problem that only Internet Explorer is affected ? Thanks in advance Matthias Gsottberger

[xwiki-users] totally groovy! (using groovy SSH script to securely launch unix processes out of Xwiki)

This might be useful for those wanting to do server administration functions (start/stop tomcat, reboot, stats, etc) out of an Xwiki doc (make sure your doc is password protected or more, if it allows people to reboot your server!; Anything needing root or tomcat user would use /etc/sudoers to grant specfic permissions to specific programs needed by user tomcat-ssh-slave): Input: > ==== Use Groovy Script run server processes and display result ==== > See [[SshHelperClass?viewer=code]], [[ > http://blog.asyd.net/2008/12/xwiki-cest-decidemment-magique/]] > ==== Call parseGroovyFromPage("Groovy.SshHelperClass") ==== {{velocity}} #set( $sshHelper = $xwiki.parseGroovyFromPage("Groovy.SshHelperClass") ) $sshHelper.openSession("127.0.0.1", "22", "tomcat-ssh-slave", > "/usr/share/tomcat6/.ssh/id_dsa", "") {{/velocity}} > ==== Output from 'uname -a'==== ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.runCommand("uname -a"){{/velocity}}## > ==== Output from 'free' ==== ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.runCommand("free"){{/velocity}}## > ==== Output from 'ps -l U tomcat-ssh-slave U tomcat U apache' ==== ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.runCommand("ps -l h U tomcat-ssh-slave U tomcat U > apache"){{/velocity}}## > ==== Output from 'df -H' ==== ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.runCommand("df -H"){{/velocity}}## > ==== Output from 'top -b -n 1' ==== ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.runCommand("top -b -n 1"){{/velocity}}## > ==== Close the connection and exit tomcat-ssh-slave shell ==== warning: if something breaks above, hopefully this will get called otherwise > we get a left-over sub-process tomcat-ssh-slave ##{{velocity}}$sshHelper.close(){{/velocity}}## Output: > Use Groovy Script run server processes and display result > > See SshHelperClass , >> http://blog.asyd.net/2008/12/xwiki-cest-decidemment-magique/ > > *Call parseGroovyFromPage("Groovy.SshHelperClass")* > > *Output from 'uname -a'* > > Linux ce 2.6.27.29-170.2.78.fc10.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 31 04:16:20 EDT >> 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > > *Output from 'free'* > > total used free shared buffers cached > > Mem: 1928992 1778932 150060 0 47272 532128 > > -/+ buffers/cache: 1199532 729460 > > Swap: 3866616 78776 3787840 > > *Output from 'ps -l U tomcat-ssh-slave U tomcat U apache'* > > 5 S 92 18792 18788 0 80 0 - 22060 select ? 0:00 sshd: >> tomcat-ssh-slave@notty > > 0 R 92 18879 18792 1 80 0 - 22453 - ? 0:00 ps -l h U tomcatssh-slave U >> tomcat U apache > > 0 S 91 31695 1 0 80 0 - 463955 futex_ ? 7:47 /usr/java/default/bin/java >> -server -Xms160m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=160m -XX:MaxPermSize=320m ... > > *Output from 'df -H'* > > Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on > > /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 242G 26G 204G 12% / > > /dev/sda1 200M 15M 175M 8% /boot > > tmpfs 988M 353k 988M 1% /dev/shm > > *Output from 'top -b -n 1'* > > top - 11:17:20 up 2 days, 16:21, 3 users, load average: 0.78, 0.68, 0.56 > > Tasks: 150 total, 2 running, 148 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie > > Cpu(s): 7.7%us, 1.7%sy, 0.0%ni, 90.2%id, 0.3%wa, 0.1%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st > > Mem: 1928992k total, 1794420k used, 134572k free, 47304k buffers > > Swap: 3866616k total, 78776k used, 3787840k free, 532356k cached > > ... > > Special Installation Instructions To make this run (Fedora Linux): 1. sudo yum install trilead-ssh2 trilead-ssh2-javadoc 2. sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/trilead-ssh2-213.jar /usr/share/java/tomcat6/trilead-ssh2.jar 3.

From the "tomcat" account, do "ssh tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1" again • verify that login happens w/o password prompt, which is what happens when authorized_keys is set to the public key of the account accessing SSH. • exit from tomcat-ssh-slave account. It's now ready to run out of tomcat. 11. passwd -l tomcat • lock the tomcat account from further logins, now that it's been setup and the dsa public/private keys have been generated. 1. *TODO:* remove password from user tomcat-ssh-slave ('!!' in passwd field of /etc/shadow) password not needed for login 2. *TODO:* alternately, is there a local customization to ensure certs only used for login to the account? I know this can be done globally in /etc/ssh/sshd_config: "PasswordAuthentication no" and "PermitEmptyPasswords no" 3. *TODO:* for user tomcat-ssh-slave, integrate "limited command processing" by replacing /bin/sh as login shell with /usr/local/bin/tomcat-ssh-shell (or equiv): #!/bin/sh -noprofile ############################################################################### # # File: sshslave-shell # RCS: $Header: $ # Description: Shell to allow execution of remote commands from a tomcat server. # For security purposes, this "login" is limited in commands it can # perform, and runs as a separate user from the tomcat server, separating # the ability to directly modify tomcat state from the functionality provided # by user tomcat-ssh-slave. This shell is run as the "login shell" (via # /etc/passwd) for account tomcat-ssh-slave, which is accessed via SSH. # The account is preferably a nonprivileged user account with pid>500, Home # directory /home/tomcat-ssh-slave must exist, with correct permisssions. # /home/tomcat-ssh-slave contains scripts referred to via fully qualified # filenames in this script. The directory would also store the accounts' # .ssh settings, keys, etc. Secure, password-less access to the tomcat-ssh-slave # account can be achieved by having tomcat's SSH public identity /usr/share/tomcat6/.ssh/id_dsa.pub # installed as /home/tomcat-ssh-slave/.ssh/authorized_keys (and keeping id_dsa secret) # This would prevent use of tomcat-ssh-slave "account" from being used by anything # other than preauthorized accounts. # # Here's some example commands: # # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 cleanlog # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 getlog # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 setdbglvl 'INFO' # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 getdbglvl # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 tomcat-restart # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 apache-restart # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 tomcat-start # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 apache-start # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 top # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 ps # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 df # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 free # ssh -x tomcat-ssh-slave(a)127.0.0.1 reboot # Author: Niels P.
